Boom to ludlcato that BUnburn Is not going

brought out tho largest crowd that has
ever visited the club and tho links were
filled with golfers, while tho big veranda
was taxed to accommodate those that pre
ferred watching tho game.
Whllo tho Couutry club attracted tho
majority of tho fashionables that day,
there woro n few that preferred other
places, and among theso was a. party that
went rtutlcatlng down In the vicinity of
Bellovuo. With no definite placo In view

My attention having been culled to the fact that unscrupul

the Bankers Union has been sold to another order, I desire to
Btate that no such sale was ever made or even contemplated, by
myself or by any other ofllcer of the Bankers Union. How such
report happened to be given to the press I do not know, but it
must have come from some unfriendly source.
